3. Title: Winter Olympic Games.

The 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics Games began on February 9 and it is now in full swing. Everyday, we can watch exciting wonderful games through TV. I was interested in Winter Olympic Games this time and checked the history that when and where it was held until now. And also I checked who won a medal among Japanese players. Then, I'd like to talk with you about Winter Olympics Games not only Pyeongchang Games this time but also other games in the past.

4. Description

1) Please make 4-5 groups

2) I will distribute a paper written about Winter Olympic Games.

3) Please read it and fill in the blanks.

4) Next, I will distribute another paper filled in the blanks

5) Then, introduce and talk about your exciting memories about games, scenes, players and so on in your group.

Your outstanding abilities of listening comprehension will be challenged at the upcoming practice. Lyrics of several English songs will be prepared on a piece of papers, but it is half-baked. There are a number of blanks on the sheet. You will be requested to fill in the blanks by carefully listening to English songs.

Description of the practice:
1) 3 to 4 groups will be formed.
2) The sheet with incomplete English lyrics will be provided to the group.
3) The songs will be played only three times.
4) For the first time, just listen to it very carefully.
5) For the second time, take a dictation to fill in the blank parts of the lyrics without asking advice from other members in the group. You can use dictionary if it’s necessary.
6) Before listening to the third time, make a group consensus on the blanks of lyrics as a group solution.
7) For the third time, while listening to the song, check your group’s solution. Make corrections to perfect it if necessary.
8) The sheet of answers will be given to your group.
9) The group with the most correct answers will be praised.

To ensure fairness in the game, new and old English songs will be adopted.
